The View

"Dreaming of islands - whether with joy or in fear, it doesn't matter - is dreaming of pulling away, of being already separate, far from any continent, of being lost and alone - or it is dreaming of starting from scratch, recreating, beginning anew. Some islands drift away from the continent, but the island is also that towards which one drifts; other islands originated in the ocean, but the island is also the origin, radical and absolute. " Giles Deleuze (Desert Islands)
